Chapter 680: External Force
The long-stored flood broke through the dikes and swallowed everything in its path with the power of destruction.
Gu Shenwei felt that he was both a flood and a victim of being swallowed by the flood, and the body in his arms was struggling, but it was insignificant compared to this force, and he quickly merged with him and rose and fell in the flood together.
The solid line of defense that reason had built up for many years was destroyed in such a way, he didn't think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it, because he knew what the result of thinking was, and at this moment, instinct had the absolute upper hand, and he deliberately let his mind go blank, not giving reason any room at all.
Gu Shenwei is not a ruthless ascetic, he has experienced most of the pleasures that women can give men, in all short-lived relationships, he is the leader, there is no time like now, completely lost in the **, there is no so-called leader, not even a feeling of pleasure, everything falls into place, everything is natural.
It's a wonderful journey into the bottomless abyss, where death is accompanied by revelry, and the end gaze begins.
The two have lost their self-sustaining power, and only external forces can separate them.
It only takes a very small external force, but the faint sound of opening the curtain of the door, and reason finally turns defeat into victory.
Gu Shenwei took two steps back, everything he thought had been destroyed was rebuilt in an instant, and not even a single speck of dust was reduced.
Shangguan Ru was still standing in place, the blazing flames were still burning on her lips, and the residual warmth spread throughout her body, her reason had never been so strong, and she did not quickly regain control of her master's thoughts at this time.
Azheba stood awkwardly at the door, with mixed feelings in his heart, knowing that it would be like this, but he still didn't want to see this scene, at least the person who saw it was not himself, "I...... Come back later. ”
"No, it's just...... What's the matter with you?" In the world of sanity, Gu Shenwei was glad to have such an intruder.
"Nothing...... Actually...... "Azheba spoke incoherently, his eyes were like a piece of hot charcoal, he threw it around, but he couldn't get rid of it, and finally he looked at the dragon king, and finally stabilized, "That's the case, all the commanders can put out a candidate, everyone is fighting for this matter, I don't know what the dragon king's opinion is?"
Before Gu Shenwei walked into the tent, Shangguan Ru had a heated discussion with the officers on this issue, and asked him to come up with an idea at that time, but he forgot to talk about it.
"The generals above the commander of ten thousand will put forward four candidates, will Captain Gulun be among them?"
"Everyone is waiting for this news, it should be, he is the deputy lieutenant, one of the most qualified successors. ”
"Then you can push a candidate with the least supporters, it will be easy to reach a compromise and will not pose a threat to Gulun. ”
"That's probably the only way to go, thank you, Dragon King, and, uh, Shangguan Jiaotou. ”
Shangguan Ru glanced at Azheba blankly, uncharacteristically silent.
Azheba walked out in a little panic, holding the curtain at the door, hesitated for a while, and was about to put it down, Gu Shenwei said, "Please help me hang it up." ”
Azheba's face was red, and he hurriedly hung up the door curtain, nodded abruptly inside, turned and strode away, which made the red bat puzzled, and couldn't help but turn around and glance into the tent.
This time it was Gu Shenwei's turn to feel embarrassed, and he held the handle of the knife with his left hand and let it go, so three times, he didn't find a suitable word.
Shangguan Ru showed a smiling smile, "It's useless, the rumors will be faster than the election of the Grand Captain, you can't deny it." ”
Gu Shenwei regretted letting Azheba hang up the curtain, because he didn't expect Shangguan Ru to mention what happened just now, "Azheba seems to be a strict-mouthed person......" As soon as the words came out, Gu Shenwei understood that this was not the key to the problem at all, and he was evading, "Let's forget about this matter." ”
"Why?" Shangguan Ru's cheeks revealed a layer of pink, which had nothing to do with shyness, but a manifestation of his stubborn surname.
"Why?" Gu Shenwei really didn't want to answer this question, but he had to answer, he lowered his voice, "Because I have a queen, because you are the daughter of King Dubu, because you ...... Killed the pair of Roc birds, and killed all my relatives for the second time. ”
At that moment, the anger and hatred that had been tamed for a long time rose violently, and the power was almost comparable to that of the ** that had just ended.
Shangguan Ru took a step back in horror, she knew everything the Dragon King said, but he had always controlled it so carefully that she gradually ignored the true face of hatred, and when it revealed its true face, it was a hundred times more terrifying than she had imagined.
"Drink wine, drink wine, eat meat, eat meat!" Old Man Mu's voice came from afar, and once again, an external force broke the predicament that could not end on its own.
Shangguan Fei held a few large pieces of barbecue meat still inserted in the skewers, and happily walked into the tent, and the old man Mu beckoned to the guards outside, "Eat together, I have been hungry all day, if it weren't for my fast hands, I would have to continue to starve." ”
Red Bat looked at the head of the sect worriedly, and Shangguan waved before she came in with five guards.
Shangguan Fei vigilantly stared at the grease dripping from the barbecue, "It's really miserable, even the servants in the camp don't work, if you want me to say, the captain is dead, the others have to live, the soldiers are starving, who will fight?"
The knee socket of his left leg was kicked hard, Shangguan Fei almost fell, barely standing firmly, but his body was stained with several lumps of grease, he turned his head to look at Old Man Mu in surprise, and didn't dare to be angry, "What are you doing? Just now you said that Captain Dadu was a fool......
Under the hint of Old Man Mu, Shangguan Fei finally noticed that his sister's expression was not quite right, and his eyes seemed to be moist, "Hey, why are you ......?"
"Regardless of others, let's drink wine and eat meat. Shangguan Ru interrupted his brother loudly, "Bring the bowl, ask for a big bowl." ”
This was a lively small banquet, just to not disturb the soldiers who were still mourning nearby, everyone did not make a loud noise, only the old man Mu didn't care, he drank with the good girl, forced Shangguan Fei to dance a toast, and praised the beauty of the red bat when he was free, "I really don't understand, what is going on with the men in the North Garden? If I am a teenager younger, hehe, you will see the good girl chasing me to avenge you." ”
Red Bat obviously didn't care much about the old man's teasing, she was a beautiful lady in the aristocratic family when she was in the country of incense, and it was one of her jobs to receive men according to the master's arrangement, only after joining the army did she get rid of her former lowly status, she was very willing to cooperate with the old man Mu to adjust the atmosphere in the tent, "How do you know that no man from Beiting likes me?"
Gu Shenwei ate a few small pieces of meat, not a drop of wine, quickly came out of the mixed emotional turmoil, seriously thinking about the current situation, he made several assassination plans, but the death of the Grand Lieutenant disrupted the deployment, if the candidates announced tomorrow morning were not satisfactory, it would be useless for him to make more assassination plans.
Towards the evening, Li Man ran over and ate a little leftover meat, everyone knew that he had something to say, the old man Mu pulled Shangguan Fei and went to hang out again, and the red bat and the others continued to be on duty outside the tent.
"Azheba, have they decided on a candidate?" Shangguan Ru asked, she drank a lot of wine, but she didn't eat a few pieces of meat, just a little drunk, but her mind was more sober and rational.
"Not yet, but the main tent has already finalized four people, Gulun Duwei and Wanfu Wucuo are inside, the battle on the thousand-captain's side is more fierce, and there are many centurions who feel that they have merit, and they should also express their opinions, it is a mess, I think there will be no results before the second watch of the heavenly kings enter the camp. ”
Gu Shenwei knew that the purpose of Liman's running was not just to report the results, so he paid attention to his expression, Azheba's mouth seemed to be very strict, and Liman didn't seem to be in the know, so he asked, "How is the investigation of the internal annihilation?"
Liman raised his head in surprise, because the Dragon King had guessed his mind at once, "This matter is the most troublesome." ”
"What's wrong?" Shangguan Ru was also very concerned about this matter.
Liman glanced out of the tent, and Shangguan Ru shouted, "Red Bat, help us light the lamp." ”
The red bats come in and light the oil lamps, and when they go out, they lower the curtains.
Liman lowered his voice, "From the morning before yesterday to the night of yesterday, the Grand Lieutenant met with a total of fifteen groups of people, and I and two officers investigated each group of people, basically discussing military affairs, and there was a person concerned who confirmed that there was nothing to suspect, only once, it was yesterday afternoon, when the four generals met with the Grand Lieutenant and said that no one knows, and we have no way to verify it." ”
"So do you think that the people who instigated the Grand Lieutenant to leave the camp and risk it and leaked the news are likely to be these four generals?" Shangguan Ru asked.
"Hmm. Liman seemed to have something unspeakable, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"Captain Gulun is also among the four generals. Gu Shenwei guessed.
Liman nodded with difficulty, "Actually, we should have thought that one of Gu Lun's duties is to lead the guards, Azheba asked him, and he said that he was also deceived, and he carefully planned protective measures, but it was an empty tent to be guarded. ”
"Will there be a misunderstanding in the middle?" Shangguan Ru felt that it seemed too hasty to identify Gu Lun as an internal annihilation now.
Liman sighed, "Azheba and I both hope that this is a misunderstanding, we have found every squad of guards in the past two days to ensure that there will be no omissions, just these fifteen groups of people, there will be no mistakes, each group of witnesses has at least two, only Gu Lun ......"
"Who are the other three generals?"
"To be honest, I'm completely confused now, the other three are all captains, one of them is Ucuo, and it couldn't be more coincidental, these four people are the four candidates that the generals have just decided. ”
This time, even Shangguan Ru couldn't doubt it, "But, how could it be...... Uso is the man of King Yao, and Gulun has always been inclined to Prince Dotun, and they are more like enemies......"
Gu Shenwei's heart was already clear, "That's it, Tosai didn't know it when he walked on the road to death, and it was Wucuo who was about to give him a ride." ”
"They were all bribed by the Holy King?" Although Liman found out the facts, he couldn't believe it.
"Bribery and threatening, the Holy King is very good at both. Gu Shenwei did not hesitate at all.
"What now?"
"It's up to the Commanders to come up with a strong candidate. Gu Shenwei looked at Shangguan Ru, and looked at her for the first time since dinner, "Mustang has found you?"
Han Fen is very loyal to the lotus girl, but she will not lie, she said that the wild horse wants to win over Shangguan Ru for the Holy King, this matter has already happened, Shangguan Ru did not mention it, Gu Shenwei can only ask directly.
